Meanwhile, new details have emerged during the investigation into the Ketan Agarwal murder case.

According to investigators, Siya and Chetan allegedly rehearsed the murder near a club in Lullanagar.

The accused duo practised how to push Ketan off the cliff at Lohagad Fort before executing the murder plan.

Earlier today, police took Siya to the spot where she rehearsed the cliff-push with her boyfriend. The police wanted to know how exactly she had practised the murder.

Ketan was pushed into a deep gorge from the Lohagad Fort on June 18.

While the police initially treated it as an accidental death case, a detailed investigation unearthed a sinister plot to kill the Pune realtor by his fiancée Siya and her boyfriend Chetan.

Siya allegedly planned the murder of her fiancé with her boyfriend at a cafe in Pune. She didn’t want to marry Ketan, who appeared madly in love with her.

She had also tried to kill Ketan during an earlier visit to the fort, but the latter survived the attempt.

During their June 14 visit, Siya had pushed Ketan, but he managed to grab a nearby bush. When he asked why did she push him, Siya allegedly told him that there was a snake and she was trying to protect him.
